I've been trying to come up with some way to celebrate my scary birthday, and it's just not working out. My mother had me at an inconvenient time of the year, that's all there is to it. The weather sucks pretty much everywhere in February, and anywhere pleasant I could go is too expensive.

I'm still going to take time off, but instead of enjoying the last remaining hours of my youth I will be holed up in my apartment in the LG with the comforter pulled over my head.
